> Dude you just need to get first hand experience.

Why?

> That’s the whole point. You can keep dancing around it, but that’s a fact.

Why do you believe this to be true?

First-hand experience doesn't seem to offer me much except confirmation bias and feeding one's ego. No thanks.

> Until then, you’re just lost in delusion.

What belief have I uttered in this discussion that warrants the word "delusion"?

> You have no concept of my worldview, barely your own.

How would that even work, having "barely [my] own" concept of my own worldview? If I barely have a concept of a given worldview, how would it be mine? Even if it were flawed?

> You need to try. If you don’t do that, you just keep generating garbage like this, unchallenged, think you’re right - you’re missing so much of the picture. You’re so wrong, you don’t even know it.

We have language for a reason. If you can't explain something and convince me of it being true without me having to experience it first-hand, and independent experts cannot interrogate your explanations to agree that it's correct, then how do you know it's actually true?

You keep making absolute statements, but get really defensive when I ask simple questions.
Yesterday I watched an episode of a tv-show here in Norway ("A-laget") where people with severe autism, downs and similar interviews famous people. This episode was them interviewing our prime minister. And he was honestly so sweet, even when they asked questions with no filters. He also visited a ski-podcast I listen to, and there as well he came across as a very likeable guy.

I don't vote for him, but I honestly think he's a good person. I hope we avoid getting the same kind of rhetoric and harshness when we have our election next year, that we've seen in recent years in other countries.
Framework Laptop 16 without a dGPU is 2.1kg.
Actually, really the blame goes to Nixon on this. Nixon ended 25 years of isolation between the US and China [1], and further played China against Russia.

The deeper reality is that US corporations wanted cheap labor. And the Chinese wanted to increase their standard of living for their people. But also, China turned into a nuclear power while people weren't looking, and trade between the US and China would prevent any wars.

It's easy to look back and say one thing, but back in the 60's/70's the nuclear threat to the US was real, and trade was the most powerful deterrence option that could lead to long lasting peace.

Not all tech workers are in "stereotypical" software engineering roles at Big Tech firms. It seems like those in defense-related industries would have the most leverage, for all the reasons you describe. Yet there's not much of a push for unionization there.

Is "tech unionization" really just a matter of visa leverage? That's a non-issue for people in defense because they're nearly all US citizens.
Most EU countries banned certain categories of weapons like cluster munitions and antipersonnel mines, and as a result were unable to provide them to Ukraine.
russia had no such qualms. Fortunately non-EU countries were able to supply Ukraine with these useful weapons: the EU was dependent on non-EU countries for its security.

Had russia attacked a NATO country of the EU directly, said country would have been at a disadvantage.

There have been reports of experiments with autonomous drones in the russia-Ukraine war.

If the EU bans AI for military uses and our adversaries do not, I am afraid someday we will regret our mistake. But it will be too late.

Something tells me you can’t believe this nonsense you’re spewing. You’re attributing the greatest economic boom the world has ever seen, not to being the sole winner and survivor of WWII, but because the borders were tightened. You must be a troll.
Oh, I think I've seen this. If I remember correctly SQLite uses it.

Thanks.
That's not entirely correct.

The EU has an abysmal history of setting and managing ITQs in its waters, with Iceland having some of the best (but not at all perfect) managed waters in the world.

So there is plenty to be skeptical about when it comes to how negotiations would go on the matter.
> The world makes sense only when we judge actions by their consequences.

I'm not sure I agree with this part. To quote Gene Wolfe: "until we reach the end of time we don’t know whether something is good or bad, we can only judge the intentions of those who acted." Judging morals by outcome seems like a tricky path down a slippery slope. The Manhattan Project is morally complicated, both because the intentions of those involved was complicated, and because the outcome was complicated. What's wrong to do, I think, is simplifying it down to "was good" or "was bad".
> Attaching medical insurance to one's job is a market distortion caused by government tax policy

Here in the US, FDR had a wage freeze as part of his policies [1] to deal with the continuing Great Depression that WWII had not stopped yet by 1942. Because of that, companies needed to get inventive about ways to increase benefits but not illegally increase wages. Companies started offering insurance plans.

That's where the employment/insurance coupling started.

TBF very simple (not easy, but anticipated) structural problem: currently PRC ~5 years into ~20 year period where the intersection of cohort from when PRC had higher TFR - was generating 15m+ new borns while simultaneously massively expanding tertiary capacity and enrollment (single digit to 60% and increasing). Unsurprisingly (and again anticipated when scale of academic reforms was being proposed) sought after air conditioned office jobs hasn't kept pace to frankly stupendous tertiary expansion, meanwhile tuition doesn't drive PRC student into crippling debt, and parents have high savings % to doddle kids who can afford to fuck around. Broad unemployment is steady ~5% - sooner or later youth will enter workforce doing less desirable jobs when they realize they're not tier1 material. Same with all the ones now chillaxing in tier2+ cities, not everyone makes the grind in NYC either. West simply had to deal with academic inflation earlier and culture have already learned to live with paper degrees.

If one followed the domestic/elite debate 30 years ago (project 211/985), it was exceedingly obvious CCP decided it was more useful to max out the dial to brrrrt teritary talent generation even if it means eventual talent oversupply and opportunity mismatch. At end of the day, more useful to have excess talent where top minds are discovered and coordinated, then not. Teritiary talent can fail back to delivering DiDi, but undereducated DiDi driver not going to work in fabs.

Still given PRC youth unemployment rates, the % employed is still integrating ~2-3x more STEM workforce per year vs US (excluding non STEM technical fields). They have massive relative youth unemployment, but massive absolute youth employment that has closed the STEM/technical #s with US in last decade, and set to lead for decade(s). Like if current trend/ratio continues, PRC set to add 40M stem in next 20 years, about as much US projected to gain population total (births + immigration). The talent:opportunity gap will eventually close since new cohorts moving from 15m new birth years to 9 million (and declining) new births, i.e. if PRC keep pace with high skilled job generation (difficult), they'll eventually experience (skilled) talent shortage, but by then they may well have OECD combined in high end talent in the workforce.

There isn't going to be rustication, unless you count mediocre people realizing they're doomed to mediocre work in mediocre location rustication. And ultimately, that's what all the developing tier2/3+ cities and interior provinces is about, why CCP was lolling at all the naive (western) urbanists trying to convince them to increase tier1 density to increase productivity and follow zipf scaling. CCP solution is to tell people NYC is full, but here, we build multiple NYC alternatives, with comparable amenities, slower pace for the mediocre/mids (not meant to disparage but mere statistic reality), but you'll end up making 1/2 the money but have same or better QoL because local PPP is scaled accordingly. They're not moving people to the countryside, they're moving people to other world class cities.
I suspect that Fast Startup and/or dirty bits on partitions are causing the EFI to disable those modes, and/or secure boot and/or Windows 8/10/11 "optimized settings" checkboxes causing the mode to not display or otherwise not be available, as I allude to in another thread on this post. Dell is not the only offender in this, as I've seen even more locked-down EFIs than Dell's that won't even allow you to disable secure boot.

How is Europe the largest single consumer market at 500 million people? Are you unaware of China, and also India? What am I missing? Even if you measure in economic size and not population, you’re still wrong.

I’m also curious, how and when will it be decided that it’s eventually time to move onto a new/better standard? If the law came into force 20 years ago, would we still be stuck with the standard of that time? Who decides when a new standard is worth upgrading?

Edit: I see now others mentioned China already.

Nonstop has run on X86 systems for about 10 years now, but I don't think they were ever considered 'mid-range'. I think they usually were referred to as mainframes, although the hardware architecture was totally different.

> What the feature Apple wanted to add was scan the files on the device and flag anything that gets a match.

This is not the revelation you think it is. Critics understood this perfectly.

People simply did not want their devices scanning their content against some opaque uninspectable government-controlled list that might send you to jail in the case of a match.

More generally, people usually want their devices working for their personal interests only, and not some opaque government purpose.

Aye, there’s the kicker. The correct configuration of hardware resources to run and multiplex large models is just as much of a trade secret as model weights themselves when it comes to non-hobbyist usage, and I wouldn’t be surprised if optimal setups are in many ways deliberately obfuscated or hidden to keep a competitive advantage

All hypotheticals. In reality not all software became outsourced. In reality you can earn a good living as a programmer in the West. In the US you can even earn a great wage.

Look at reality if you want to honestly determine your leverage.
What makes you think such a nonsense?
Plus the undemocratic law making process and the unelected EU commission that is an authoritarian institution without anyone keeping it in check. The DSA is a censorship law with an added backdoor (look up "emergency response" and its implications). And tethered caps are just annoying ;)
The second article is not saying that Alpine is right, only that it behaves differently. "Reasonable" stack size is pretty subjective - many workflows won't care about stack allocating megabytes at a time and could save RAM from having a smaller stack size. The article is pretty informative with workarounds for this situation. There's no need to attack the author about this, especially from a throwaway.
Trailers generally require vehicle registration to be towed on the road, and tow vehicles are relatively expensive. Despite already being on wheels, individual residents would still be unable to move their shelter themselves in response to being told to move on. And any organization that helps out with tow vehicles creates a centralized target to attack.

The solution in the OP of building this as part of a dedicated tricycle is pretty damn slick. "Yes of course officer I am moving along, as fast as I can"
Good to hear there are more world leaders that are genuinely good people.

Ask HN: What do you use LLMs for in your work/hobbies?
Basically the title. In your professional/hobby filled life, how have you successfully introduced LLMs into your workflow?

My Experience:

I have tried using Cursor to help with development, and find it can generate really basic code okay, but struggles with any kind of complex needs, or code that has to work across files. Going back and forth with it gets stuck at a local minima and doesnt fix things.

At the end of the day I end up spending more time reading medeocre code to understand it than just writing the thing.

Writing wise: I have tried asking it to generate a blog post about a topic or even just bullet points for me to write about, but its too generic and lacks depth.

For video games, I asked ChatGPT to explain to me the different advantages of the different countries you can play as for AOE FE, but it hallucinated units and advantages, making it worse than useless.

I'm clearly doing something wrong. What have you successfully done with LLMs?
I'm not sure why you think this is something about tech specifically or even something recent. Most hiring has always been about knowing people and/or some other signal rather than walking off the street other than in a really would-be employee's hunting environment.

ADDED: To be fair, it's probably the fact that, in tech, junior people coming in without any real credentials or otherwise out of the blue at this point probably face a lot of headwinds--especially relative to the last decade or so.
You're still vastly overstating the scope of the Posse Comitatus Act. As a matter of policy, the US military is cautious about intercepting hostile aircraft in American airspace[1], but the Posse Comitatus Act doesn't prevent it from doing so.

In particular, your claim that "any action (or effectors traveling) outside base boundaries would generally be illegal" is not only false but facially absurd, since it would imply that the US military is statutorily prevented from intercepting enemy bombers or responding to an invasion of American soil.

[1] The reasons for which are well discussed here: https://www.navalgazing.net/Thoughts-on-the-Chinese-Balloon
By announcing a complete vaporware known as SDI, while making a good impression it was very real, Reagan hinted at the possibility of changing the balance of power squarely to the American favor. The Soviets could not afford losing that balance, and they bought the Star Wars story -- hook, line and sinker -- so they went down the path of developing a similar system, and by doing so diverted even more money from the welfare of their citizens into the military-industrial complex. The citizens didn't like what was being left for them, so the system soon collapsed.

Authorization can be achieved by authentication with either a preshared key or a key derived using public key cryptography and some PKI.

It's trivial to implement on an open channel, HMAC being a common form. This is how old APIs using HTTP (Flickr, S3) handled authorization despite all communication being cleartext.

Confidentiality and integrity can be achieved with a single authenticated encryption primitive, or done separately with encryption and a hash-based authentication primitive, or exist as one without the other.
(Not a shipping cargo person, so take what I say with a grain of salt)

The value is cross-loading delivers greater network effects. You have many possible paths to get to your destination, and can pick the most optimal for your particular needs at each step.

Most container ships are on a sailing schedule - they visit a set number of ports, and generally stick to it (absent other issues).

So you can get out of your origin country quicker by just picking the next ship with the cheapest rates going to approximately the right location.

For the shipping lines it's more efficient to just pick up a lot of containers at once and visit multiple ports than try and get a full load to just one destination.

It also means that each port they visit they're also getting paid for new cargo for onward destinations, not running empty (or waiting for another full load) to do another trip.

No, they don't really must accept all rules. Only the ones that will benefit them. This will cease once they join the EU.

It is not a reasonable description, because there was no „foreign“ rule in USSR. E.g. Russia was not ruling over Ukraine, both were equal parts of the union and both Russian and Ukrainian republican governments were subjects to the rule of the communist party and union government. Same as Germany not being a colony of EU or contemporary Australia not being a colony of the Commonwealth. Russian colonial empire has fallen in 1917-1922 during the civil war.
You cannot say either way. There was a point I was trying to get at: Devs access each other just as several religions people do : one's own religion is the best, and that there cannot be any other right way to do things. This why the whole hiring/interview process is broken.

The ACA was a huge change. People generally know about the parts about mandates et al.

The provisions for moving beyond paper was one of the biggest, and most relevant to people here. Examples are the use of electronic records, the incentives to actually use them (both for patents and for metrics), etc.

Due to the market power of Medicare, it also changed payments from per procedure to per outcome.

Many of these changes were quite deep. I would not use trivial to describe it.
There is sufficiently convincing evidence for an investigation.

People were lured into locations, where they were vulnerable, where they didn't want to participate; where it was by external forces (they had a lack of agency), and then they died, all to the one-way benefit of some party.

More than three intersections, so its not coincidence.

This happens once, its a one-off but a couple of times, and you can no longer be permissive in your presumptions and reasoning, and must be much more restrictive.

3 times, in a short period of time (relatively speaking), is the magic number in statistics where given the astronomical number of possibilities, it happened the same way.

It indicates a trend which is more than deserving further investigation, and associated resources.

When the government cannot protect whistleblowers, the rule of law breaks down in a very public way. The rule by law which takes its place, letting the corrupt benefit, is just a stand in before collapse into increasing trends towards violence.

If the law is unable to hold people to account equally, with access, independent judiciary, transparency, and fulfilling its purpose of non-violent resolution, then it fails as a rule of law, and becomes a rule by law. Just like the events that happened to the Colonists in 1776, and the many abuses that led to uprising... when the courts failed and General Gage took over.

The primary purpose of the courts is equitable non-violent conflict resolution to the law. Its a pivotal pillar of civilized society, when people see it has failed, they may go for the brass verdict instead of volunteering themselves for a kafkaesque suicide court.
Probably 30 years ago, a Washington Post columnist (a recent arrival from Philadelphia) thought it an illustration of Washington compulsiveness that he had seen a man at the gym take his pager into the showers. That I should say makes less sense, given the slight probability of saving half of one's shower duration in returning a call.

Just to counter your anecdote with another of equal value, the only time I’ve ever traveled for an interview was for my first software dev job when I had zero experience.
